Soft Serve Fun Facts

Soft serve was invented in the 1930’s by the founders of Dairy Queen and the Carvel chain.

Soft serve ice cream is full of air, giving it its fluffy texture.

Soft serve is served at -5°F, as compared to regular ice cream that is -23°F.

Since soft serve is made with 40-50% air added into it, it is lower in fat compared to regular ice cream.
